Using Django-Registration, what's the easiest way to remove and use email address

For my app, I'd just like people to register with an email address and password an开发者_JAVA百科d use that to log in. Essentially I dont want the username to ever be seen by the end user.

I'm using django-registration. Is there a super simple way to set it this way? Seems like a fairly common need.

Thanks!

In your registration form, you'll need to remove the username and have it be autogenerated. The username field isn't very long in Django so just using an email isn't a viable option without (monkey)patching Django.

Once you are registering users with a autogenerated username, you'll need to enable authenication. To do this you need to use a custom Authentication backend that enables signing in by email. Pinax has one that you can use as a reference:
